The iconic Saturday night hockey broadcast that defined Canadian living for generations has ended, sparking nostalgia, debate and a new direction for public broadcasting.

The beloved broadcast series that defined Canadian hockey for generations is concluding after its partnership with Rogers Sportsnet ended, raising questions about the future of the brand and the next chapter for the networks involved.

American hockey fans near the Canadian border grapple with the end of CBC’s iconic Hockey Night in Canada, a tradition that blended sport, history and community across the border.

The broadcaster will no longer carry NHL games but will continue to use the historic Hockey Night in Canada name, a staple of Canadian sports broadcasting since 1931.
